Suggestion Je traduirais comme suit "une solution de téléphonie sur IP peut a priori paraître plus chère qu'une solution conventionnelle s'appuyant sur un petit standard manuel et des postes téléphoniques.

Just one more question... Is this document generally good-quality, native-speaker EN, Louise? I have certain doubts...

Louise Beaudry (asker) Apr 30, 2009:

Communications Dear colleagues, thank you for your help here is the complete sentence: IP phones initially seem more expensive when compared to traditional circuit-switched key systems and enterprise phones.
Thank you for also including the "enterprise phone" translation.
Many thanks

Contexte On ne pas donner une traduction précise si on ne connait pas le contexte, c'est de la devinette....

Tony M Apr 30, 2009:

More context needed Louise, the term standing alone like this is ambiguous, we really need more context to help you meaningfully.<br><br>What is the overall context of the document / section in which it appears, and can you give us the complete sentence, maybe even one or 2 sentences either side of it, so we can see just how it is neing used?
